Gemmy Xmas Inflatables

Tales of Ordinary Madness

pound, in broad daylight, a poor man in the street and go unpunished

No, we're not in New York, neighborhoods of Harlem, the Bronx, Hell's Kitchen. We are a small company in the province, a city of workers and studenti.Siamo in Terni, a provincial capital of Umbria, a region famous for its unspoiled nature and works of art; region of saints and well-preserved medieval towns . 17:30 pm of any day in late September. How many even Simone Terni, (we call it the protagonist of our story), is doing the classic 'bathtub' Course in Tacitus. E 'at the Mc Donald when two little boys bike prancing and risk finirgli him. Simon manages to dodge them, past the initial surprise, the two resumed cycling. An 'you do' that the two sounds like an insult, as a threat rather than as a normal reaction. One of two boys Simon and pulls him with violence to his face. The other called a group that is parked in front of the fastfood manforte to give to her companion. Many are now those around Simone. Choirs depart, pushing, vulgar. Someone even filmed the moment. The sequence takes a few moments: a girl and an elderly, one with vehemence, the second with the calmness typical only of grandparents, they try to end the fight. Now people around Simone's even more. But it is not These are thugs, but to ordinary citizens. The outrage at what has happened is strong in the air you breathe. The police arrived the attacker fled. The protagonist of this disaster now has a bruise on his face and lots of clear, justified, paura.Nel meantime, the agents noticed a certain nervousness on the loops that niche overshadowed by the catwalks of a construction site. Two benches surrounded by motorcycles, a bar and some young people to binge. Anyone who stops to talk to the police evidence points to them as annoying, provocative and disrespectful. And not just personal opinions: the police are mocked with impunity in words and gestures and pointing with the ubiquitous video phone on the scene. "They are all familiar faces," explained the superintendent of the PS "Almost daily we hear reports of fights or vandalism made by them. The last three hours ago. " Simone recovered in the car and reached the hospital to be reported. He filed a complaint against unknown persons even if someone helped him to provide a first to the police identikit.

seems strange but these things happen in Terni with some frequency. This is not some control of the territory as in Naples, Rome and Milan against organized crime, but to provide minimal security to the citizens and taxpayers of Terni. A patrol of the municipal building and the desire to punish in an exemplary manner and once and for all a half-dozen stragglers are more than enough. And it is the duty of any administration. No one wants to exploit the incident that has struck Simon, what do note that things like that is not right, let alone allowed to happen. Over the past five years have seen the rise of car parks, plazas and squares, but never with conviction and hard work in against petty crime. Dealing with fringes of misfits, immigrants and Italians, not racism, is not a lack of solidarity with the anti-social. E 'respectability pure and simple. Palazzo Spada is interested in urban decor without taking into account those who have the same pattern with the threatening behavior deviati.Vogliamo be able to walk down the street without running the risk of being punched or be involved in a brawl. I think this is a sacred right.
